After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss Chapter 136
Hannah’s POV:Adam’s shoulder healed faster than I expected.Or maybe it just felt fast because I hadn’t wanted this moment to come.The doctor’s office smelled faintly of antiseptic and citrus cleaner, the kind that lingered long after you left. We were sitting in the hospital room for what the doctor kept calling the final checkup, and every time he said the word, my chest tightened just a little. Adam sat beside me on the bed, his shirt peeled off his shoulder as the doctor examined the old bullet wound with practiced efficiency.“Move your hands forward,” he commanded. Adam did as he was told and he did it without stress.“Alright, backwards.”He did.“Now try to rotate your arm.” He did without any single ounce of strain.“Range of motion looks good,” the doctor said, rotating Adam’s arm slightly. “No inflammation, no nerve damage. You’re cleared.”Adam grinned. “Told you I heal like Wolverine.”The doctor gave him a look. “Try not to get shot again.”“No promises,” Adam repli

Hannah’s POV:The next weekend arrived faster than I expected, and before I knew it, Adam was parking his car in front of Josh’s duplex. I stared out the window, momentarily forgetting the chaos in my life because—wow. The place looked like something off a glossy magazine cover: a tall cream-white structure with glass railings, a manicured lawn, and a marble pathway that screamed money in a low, classy whisper.“Damn,” Adam muttered beside me, taking it all in. “Your friend has taste.”I snorted as I unbuckled my seatbelt. “Josh always had expensive hobbies. Watches, cars… apparently now, houses too.”Adam shot me a playful look. “Should I be worried?”“He wishes,” I deadpanned, earning a chuckle.Josh opened the front door before we even knocked. “Get in here, you two! You’re letting cold air escape.”“It’s warm outside,” I pointed out.“Yes, but it ruins the aesthetic when the door stays open,” he said seriously.Josh and his priorities. I followed him inside, and my jaw dropped aga

Hannah’s POV:I was at my company office. I had been staring at the same spreadsheet on my laptop for the past ten minutes without registering a single line. My fingers hovered above the keyboard, unmoving, as if the numbers would eventually arrange themselves into something meaningful. They didn’t. My thoughts kept drifting back to Maria, to Uncle Chen, to the knot tightening in my stomach day by day.The knock on my office door snapped me out of it.Josh stepped inside with a warm grin and a paper bag in hand. “I come bearing food,” he announced dramatically. “Because someone,” he pointed at me, “has been skipping lunch again. And I won’t let you starve yourself into an early grave.”I sighed as he placed the bag on my desk. “I wasn’t skipping. I just… forgot.”He gave me that don’t-even-try-it look. “Exactly my point.”Before I could argue, he pulled me up from my chair and nudged me toward the office couch. “Sit. Eat. Human things. Now.”I sat, mostly because I didn’t have the ene

Hannah's POV:The longer we sat in the car, the heavier the air felt—thick, suffocating, too still for comfort. Maria’s car was parked neatly in front of the duplex, like she was simply coming over for tea at a friend’s place, not meeting the uncle who was actively trying to tear my family’s company apart.Beside me, Adam’s hand found mine—warm, steady, reassuring.I didn’t realize how tightly I’d been gripping the steering wheel until he gently pried my fingers free.“You’re shaking,” he murmured.“I’m not,” I said automatically.I absolutely was.He lifted my hand and pressed a soft kiss to the back of it. “You don’t have to pretend with me.”My breath finally loosened. The street was quiet, the kind of stillness that made your instincts itch. The duplex wasn’t suspicious on the outside—plain walls, trimmed hedges, an unassuming gate—but knowing Uncle Chen was inside turned it into something monstrous.I stared at the building. “He’s moving faster than we thought.”“Which means we j

Hannah's POV:I couldn’t breathe on the drive home.Not because the air in the car was thin but because the world suddenly felt too small, too tight. Like the walls were closing in and every second I didn’t act, Maria and Uncle Chen took three more steps ahead.As soon as we stepped into the house, I went to my room and there was Adam. I paced the length of my room like a caged animal.Adam sat on the edge of the bed, watching me silently, his injured arm propped carefully on a pillow. “You’re going to wear a hole in the rug, what's going on?” he said gently.I stopped only because I was dizzy. “Adam… they almost toppled him today. My father.” My voice cracked despite my effort to keep it steady. “Chen isn’t just manipulating the board—he’s isolating him. They’re planting seeds of distrust everywhere.”Adam folded his arms. “That’s what a takeover looks like from the inside.”“I know,” I whispered, sinking beside him. “But knowing doesn’t make it easier to watch.”He took my hand. “Te

Hannah's POV:Some days later, the company board suddenly called an emergency meeting. It was during this time our private investigator has been giving us updates of Uncle Chen meeting up with some board members.I should’ve known the moment my father said, “Maria will come with us; she’s been so curious about the business lately.”Curious? Maria never showed interest in the company except the time she tried to overtake me. She had no business in growing the company, no she wanted something else. That I've come to realize.So when she bumped her shoulder gently against father’s arm and cooed, “Dad, I just want to learn,” I already knew she’d manipulated her way into his good graces again. He softened instantly—of course he did.But the moment we arrived outside the boardroom, every hair on the back of my neck stood up.There were too many people there.Too many faces that shouldn’t have been at an emergency meeting—retired high shareholders, major partners, and a couple of old associ
